Back in early 2015, I hit a personal Twitter verbosity record by tweeting an average of 25 times a day. Last month, on the service now known as X, I posted a mere 49 times in total. No wonder I’m less engaged: Of the six people I tweeted with most often in 2016, only one shows up more than very occasionally nowadays—mostly to promote his projects elsewhere,
Facing antitrust concerns, Microsoft announced plans to sell its chat app Microsoft Teams separately from Microsoft Office, a victory for rival chat app Slack, which has complained that selling the two programs together constitutes an “illegal” practice by the company, Reuters reported Monday.

Some big changes are happening in Amazon stores, while Amazon Web Services (AWS) has axed more employees.

Earlier this week, I was just about to sit down to dinner when I glanced at my wrist and noticed that my Apple Watch was going absolutely haywire.

Jigar Shah is in a race against time, his progress measured in part by a map on his office wall.

The new horror film Late Night with the Devil hit theaters late last month amid a lot of really good buzz. It has a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and has broken box office records for its distributor, IFC Films. It seemed poised to become the indie movie success s
